#hello-vim.vim

hello-vim.vim is a script you can add to your .vimrc file to display keybindings on the screen while you work in Vim.

This script is intentionally not a plugin—it's designed for beginners who may not yet know how to set up Vim plugins. If you're new to Vim and just trying it out for fun, the default keybindings can feel intimidating, and this script aims to make the experience smoother.
